About Our Walk

Welcome to Great Strides 2015! After the success of previous years, we're excited to bring the walk to Warner Park and the Mallards Baseball Stadium, the 'Duck Pond'. Walk day promises to be a fun, family-oriented event with a healthy 5k walk, a chance to run the bases, tour the club house, lunch and much more. We look forward to seeing everyone on the field, our Great Strides Spring Training starts now!

We're still 'hitting' for a cure, so here's our game plan. The funds raised through Great Strides Madison help our mission: to cure cystic fibrosis, and to provide all the people with the disease the opportunity to lead full, productive lives by funding research and drug development, promoting individualized treatment, and ensuring access to high-quality, specialized care. Events like Great Strides Madison finance a unique approach to drug discovery, yielding a CF therapeutics pipeline with more than 12 potential therapies in development. Everyone involved should be proud that virtually every drug to treat CF, available now and the years to come, was made possible because of the 'run'-support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

We need your help to achieve our shared hopes and dreams. Join us and 'signup' to be part of the Great Strides Madison team! Draft your fantasy roster, manage your team, hit a fundraising grand slam and help us make CF stand for Cure Found!

For the security of your donation and the safety of our fundraisers, volunteers and our staff, all cash must be converted to cashier's check or money order for walk day or when mailing into the office. Thank you!

Important note on Attendance at Foundation Events:

To reduce the
risk of getting and spreading germs at CF Foundation-sponsored events, we ask
that everyone follow basic best practices by regularly cleaning your hands with
soap and water or with an alcohol-based hand gel, covering your cough or sneeze
with a tissue or your inner elbow and maintaining a safe 6-foot distance from
anyone with a cold or infection.

Medical
evidence shows that germs may spread among people with CF through direct and
indirect contact as well as through droplets that travel short distances when a
person coughs or sneezes. These germs can lead to worsening symptoms and speed
decline in lung function. To further help reduce the risk of cross-infection,
the Foundation’s attendance policy recommends that all people with CF maintain
a safe 6-foot distance from each other at all times while attending an outdoor
Foundation-sponsored event.
